🤍 We’re More Than Shop & Strolls.

When people think of the Heart of Tomball Alliance, they often think of our downtown events. But our mission goes far beyond organizing a stroll.

We’re a volunteer-led nonprofit business alliance committed to strengthening our community, supporting our member businesses, and finding meaningful ways to give back.

One of the projects we’re most proud of was our Purse Bingo fundraiser, made possible by our members, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees.

❤️ Together, we raised $9,000 for Ainsley’s Angels of Greater Houston, helping them purchase a Ford Transit van that transports adaptive racing equipment so individuals with disabilities can participate in races and community events.

This wasn’t funded by a grant. It wasn’t required. It was simply our community coming together to make a difference.

This is what the Heart of Tomball Alliance is about:
✔️ Supporting local businesses.
✔️ Creating community partnerships.
✔️ Giving back to local nonprofits.
✔️ Investing in the future of downtown Tomball.

Our Board members volunteer countless hours because we believe a strong downtown is built through service, collaboration, and community.

Thank you to every member, sponsor, volunteer, and attendee who made this possible. When you support HOTA, you’re supporting much more than an event, you’re helping create a stronger community. 🤍

This grant will reimburse the Heart of Tomball Alliance for seven events, regional advertising, and a dedicated visitor shuttle during their hosted events through 2027. The TEDC Board approved this collaboration with the Heart of Tomball Alliance to support the interests of local merchants and enhance the visitor experience of Old Town Tomball.

The Alliance continues to drive foot traffic, directly support approximately 36 local businesses, and create memorable experiences through events like Shop & Strolls, a fashion show, & purse bingo. Old Town has the energy. This investment helps sustain it.
